How does the star, 40, keep herself so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Porsha Williams stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She Maintains a Mostly Plant-Based Diet

Porsha tries to eat as plant-based as possible. "My big news in my house is that I am a born-again vegan. Baby vegan, to be exact,” she shared on the September 27 premiere of Bravo's Chat Room, revealing how she lost 10 pounds in 2020. “Baby vegan is basically a vegan that is completely plant-based, so I'm about 99.9 percent vegan. Meaning if the Lord say, 'Today you can have that cheese on that salad,' then I am not going to pick it off because that would be against what the Lord wants for me."

2. She Won’t Do Strict Diets

"For my diet, I really am not on anything strict to be honest. I just do what makes sense. If I’m craving a hamburger, I’ll have a hamburger. But then the next day I’ll make sure that I have a salad, a lot of water, and a good mix of vegetables. Same goes for something like pizza, if I want it I’ll have it, but then the next day I’ll make sure it is filled with healthy habits,” Porsha explained to Glamour about her approach to nutrition.

3. She Does Intermittent Fasting

Porsha is also into intermittent fasting, “which is where you only eat between a certain set of hours then fast the rest of the day,” she told Glamour. “When I do it, I’ll typically limit my eating window to about six hours."

4. She Does a Lot of Ab Work

Porsha, who has been training with Darrell Patterson for six years, doing boxing, strength, and weight training workouts. However, there is one type of workout she never misses. “I never skip abs. For some crazy reason I actually enjoy them. I can do a countless number, it’s like I have that natural strength. But since I had a baby, that’s been my main focus area,” she told Glamour.

5. She Keeps a Treadmill in Her Bedroom

Porsha has a trick for getting a workout in every day. "I had no choice but to put my treadmill in my bedroom," she revealed to Glamour. "So now I see it when I wake up, and I get right into doing about forty minutes on an incline at a 4.0 pace." She claims to get on the machine “at least four days a week and I get with a trainer once a week."

Love Island star Liberty Poole is on a summer vacation. She chose to go to sunny Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Poole made sure to post several photos of her trip on Instagram.

Read on to see 5 ways Liberty Poole stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Ice Skates

Poole is an ice skater. She was one of the contestants on this year’s cast of the popular British reality series, Dancing On Ice. Poole was partnered with professional skater Joe Johnson. Poole posted this video of herself and Johnson skating on Instagram, captioning it, “We’re blown away by the support we’ve received.” "A popular choice all over the country, ice skating is a regular winter activity that can be done at a wide range of levels, from the laid back fun skates around rinks to more active applications like speed skating or even as part of playing hockey," says the Cleveland Clinic.

2. She Goes Outside

Poole loves to spend time outside. Her Instagram account is full of photos of herself in the sunshine. She posted this photo of herself at her hotel’s pool in Ibiza. She captioned the post, “Summer loving.” The sun is a great way to get your Vitamin D. "“If you’re concerned about vitamin D deficiency, ask your doctor to check your vitamin D level,” says rheumatologist Chad Deal, MD to the Cleveland Clinic. “If the level is low and your provider starts you on supplements, you need repeat testing in eight to 12 weeks to make sure the level is not too high or too low."

3. She Doesn’t Compare Herself To Others

Poole doesn’t like to compare herself to others. She encouraged others to do the same on Twitter. She wrote, “As girls with social media, we often compare ourselves to other girls and ask questions. ‘Is she prettier? Does she have a nicer body?’ STOP. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I could be someone’s 10 and another person’s 1. Everyone is individually beautiful.”

4. She Works With A Trainer

Before going on Love Island, Poole decided to get in shape. She worked with personal trainer, Jordan Goddard. He revealed that he did a lot of sessions a week with her. “She would come to me between three to four times a week,” he said to Daily Star. “She came frequently, she’s a hard worker.”

5. She Does A Variety Of Things

Mills is all about authenticity. She tells Heatworld that she made sure to be herself when she was filming Love Island. "I don’t think I’d change anything,” she says. “Because throughout Casa and going into the main villa, I was true to myself. For me, coming into Love Island, I knew I had to go with my gut and what feels right."

4. She is Confident

About joining the show, she told the Yorkshire Evening Press: "I’ll bring a lot of confidence, smiles and good vibes. ... I’m confident, I love myself. I don’t need a man to make me happy! Like it or lump it. I’m an all round good person, kind hearted and big headed! I think I’m quite affectionate, I do love little romantic things. I always like to be there for someone."

5. She Gets Some Sun

"Sunlight exposure impacts how much melatonin your brain produces, which is what tells your brain when it is time to sleep. When it gets dark, you start producing melatonin so you are ready to sleep in about two hours. With more sunlight in the summer, you are likely to feel more awake. Dr. Bligard points out that modern technology has allowed us to change our light exposure artificially with lights, TV screens and computer screens (including tablets and cell phones). Consequently, the incidence of insomnia is much higher now than it was before these devices were invented," says Unity Point Health.

Love Island star and TV personality Siânnise Fudge is on vacation in St. Lucia, and based on her latest Instagram photo, she’s enjoying the island’s waters. Fudge posed in a lake with a waterfall in the background. She wore a brown bathing suit, looking gorgeous. Fudge captioned the post, “Island girl.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Siânnise Fudge stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She Likes To Dance

Fudge is a big fan of dancing. She posts a lot of dance videos of herself busting a move with her friends on TikTok and on Instagram. She posted this video on Instagram, with the caption, “Back like I never left.” "During aerobic activity, you repeatedly move large muscles in your arms, legs and hips. You'll notice your body's responses quickly," says the Mayo Clinic. "You'll breathe faster and more deeply. This maximizes the amount of oxygen in your blood. Your heart will beat faster, which increases blood flow to your muscles and back to your lungs. Your small blood vessels (capillaries) will widen to deliver more oxygen to your muscles and carry away waste products, such as carbon dioxide and lactic acid. Your body will even release endorphins, natural painkillers that promote an increased sense of well-being."

2. She Has No Time For Body Shamers

Being in the public eye, Fudge has to deal with a lot of unfortunate comments about her body. However, she says that she is not letting the haters get to her. Fudge responded to them in an Instagram story, saying, “These comments really don't sit well with me, it's disgusting and people shouldn't be able to get away with trolling. I have always been one to struggle to put weight on no matter how much or what I eat. But do you know what I am HAPPY, HEALTHY & CONFIDENT in my body. That's all that matters! No one deserves to be shamed for their body type or weight."

3. She Turned Her Comments Off

It can be difficult for people to not read the comments, but Fudge found a way to make sure that she doesn’t. She revealed in a YouTube video that she turns her comments off on TikTok. “I just personally feel more comfortable and confident on TikTok without the comments on,” she said. “I feel like some people forget that we're still human beings and I'm putting myself out there doing something I enjoy and I go on the comments sometimes and they're very negative. I don't need that. I don't need to be seeing that.”

4. She Wants to Keep it Real

"I want girls to look at me and go, ‘I haven’t had anything done and she hasn’t had anything done’ – you don’t have to have it done. Lip fillers and things like that are very popular now, but I just think I’m happy the way I am. I would like other girls to look at me and think ‘she’s just like me’," she told GLAMOUR UK.

5. Here’s Her Eyebrow Trick

"So, threading is the way forward – you’ve got to thread. But Mac do a pencil, and I’ve used it for years just for shading. All I do is outline and shade, and then brush it through. I do think I’ll be makeup artist in the villa because I do it for a living. My friends are a nightmare on a night out, there’s a queue of people. It’s nice to have a break from it but I don’t mind, it’s good bonding. I’m a girls’ girl, so if I can help anyone out, I’m always up for it,” she told GLAMOUR.

So, how does she stay in such incredible shape? From strength training to boxing, here’s a look at her go-to fitness moves.

She Strength Trains

In her Instagram post, Sharvari is seen doing a strength training exercise. The Mayo Clinic says that strength training has a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

She Does Yoga

Sharvari shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is yoga. Sharvari posted this video of herself doing poses on her page. John Hopkins Medicine states that yoga is very beneficial. “Regular yoga practice may reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts. Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga.”

She Plays Padel

Sharvari likes to play padel to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself on the court. Playing padel has a lot of health benefits. Everybody Health & Leisure says, “It improves cardiovascular fitness, helps to build strength and endurance, enhances coordination and promotes overall physical and mental well-being. Not to mention, it’s a fantastic way to burn calories.”

She Boxes

Another thing that Sharvari does to keep herself in shape is box. She first picked this up when training for the film, Vedaa. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself punching a bag. Sharvari captioned the post, “BEAST MODE on for Vedaa! ⚠️☠️🥊 Took up boxing to become Vedaa...

She captioned the post, “Decided to seas the day!” Better Health says that running is very beneficial. “Regular running or jogging offers many health benefits.

Natasa Stankovic in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Wednesday Challenge"

Stankovic shares her go-to workout moves, from squats to lunges, cardio, Pilates, and strength training.

Entertainment India - March 2023

Natasa Stankovic isn’t just a content creator—she’s a fitness inspiration. Known for sharing intense workout sessions on Instagram, she keeps her followers motivated with creative exercise challenges and dynamic routines.

In her latest post, Stankovic teamed up with Aleksandar Illic for a lower body blast, pushing through variations of squats and lunges. Dressed in a sleek two-piece workout set, she captioned the session, “Wednesday challenge,” proving that fitness is all about consistency and fun.

So, how does she maintain her lean, strong physique? From strength training to Pilates, here’s a look at Stankovic’s go-to workout moves.

She Does Squats

Stankovic does squats to keep herself in shape, as you can see in her Instagram video. Piedmont says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off…Hardwick explains that squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

She Does Lunges

Stankovic is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic reports that lunges are very beneficial to do. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

She Does Cardio

Stankovic likes to do cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing fast box jumps in different directions on Instagram. Stankovic captioned it, “Morning cardio challenge.” Cardio exercises have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “When you work your heart and other muscles of your body during cardio exercise, this increases oxygen supply to your whole body, allowing all muscles to work harder and more efficiently. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier.”

She Does Pilates

Stankovic shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. In some of the stories, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. Pilates is very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “One of the reasons Pilates is such a good workout is that it specifically focuses on building core strength.”

She Strength Trains

Stankovic likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this Instagram story of herself using dumbbells. ACE Fitness says that strength training and using weights has a lot of health benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

Kim French in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Real Results" Workout

Learn how she sculpts her powerhouse physique with deadlifts, lunges, squats, and more.

Kim French is more than just a personal trainer—she’s a fitness coach who empowers thousands through her Believe App and Instagram workouts. Known for her structured, effective home training plans, she proves that you don’t need a gym full of heavy weights to build serious strength.

In a recent Instagram post, French shared a glimpse of her at-home training, reminding followers that smart training delivers "REAL results." Rocking a sleek two-piece workout set, she showcased some of her go-to exercises, emphasizing that with the right strategy, anyone can see progress.

So what’s in her routine? From deadlifts to hip thrusts, here’s how French sculpts her powerhouse physique.

She Does Deadlifts

French is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. NASM says, “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts. The move was introduced to the masses in the 90s by Romanian weightlifter Nicu Vlad (an Olympic and World Weightlifting champion) and his coach Dragomir Cioroslan. The two invented the move to help Nicu strengthen his back for the clean and jerk. Today, RDLs are commonly used to strengthen the posterior chain, using the core muscles to stabilize and the hamstrings and glutes to drive the movement.”

She Does Lunges

Another exercise that French is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. NASM says that they are very beneficial. “The lunge is a versatile, simple and effective movement for lower body training. Various positions, planes of motion and speeds can all yield different training adaptations for the exerciser. Lunges are the gift that keeps on giving!”

She Does Squats

French is seen doing squats in her Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats are very beneficial. “Here’s a quick look at the many benefits of squats, also known as bodyweight squats or air squats: Works major muscle groups. Burns calories. Strengthens your core. Improves lower body strength. Enhances stability and balance. Betters your posture.”

She Does Hamstring Curls

French is seen doing hamstring curls in her Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, hamstring curls are very beneficial. “The seated hamstring curl is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscles in the back of the thigh. As the name implies, the seated hamstring curl targets the hamstring muscles here in the back of the thigh. Strong hamstring muscles help to protect your ligaments in the knee.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

French shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hip thrusts. She captioned it, “Hip Thrusts are no doubt one of the best exercises for building your Glutes but of course with any exercise, the form has to be correct for you to see the maximum benefits…✖️ Feet too far forwards will engage your hamstrings more ✖️ Feet too close to you will engage your quads more ✔️ Feet placed so your calves are vertical will engage your glutes more.”
